On August 12, 2022, a man stabbed novelist Salman Rushdie multiple times as he was about to give a public lecture at the Chautauqua Institute in upstate New York.

Today, Rushdie — profiled in the New Yorker — posted his own self portrait photograph. It’s here below.

Salman is one of the finest people I’ve known in the world of arts and letters. The vicious attack is tragic but to see him on the rebound is very, very encouraging.
